Julie Kavner. She's also the nurse in Awakenings with Robin Williams. Never seen her in anything else.

 

[Reno]

Julie Kavner. She's also the nurse in Awakenings with Robin Williams. Never seen her in anything else.

She had supporting roles in a lot of Woody Allen films and in the 70s she was in the sitcom Rhoda.

Lionel Stander.

 

[trabuquera]

For ladies, where does gravelly end and husky/throaty begin?

Joan Rivers was unarguably gravelly
I think Ellen Barkin definitely qualifies for gravelly
... but was Joan Greenwood gravelly?

Also, can you be squeaky AND gravelly at the same time? (thinking about Jennifer Tilly here)

 

[Cheesypoof]

Yup, Billie Holiday (she did act too).

Huh. She's in a couple of Allen films I know quite well. Never noticed her before. I guess if she doesn't have big speaking parts its easier to miss her...

Jean Reno

Sam Elliot (Roadhouse, Big Lebowski..Parks and Rec)
